  • Publication number: 20090166146
    Abstract: The present invention describes a clutch disc, particularly used in a clutch system for effecting the selective coupling between an engine and a transmission of an automotive vehicle, comprising a first torsion disc (2), associatable to the engine, a second retention disc (3) rigidly associated to the torsion disc (2) and a flange (4) associated to the first and second discs (2, 3) by means of at least one damping resilient element (5) defining a first torsion-vibration damping system, the flange (4) being associated, by means of a second torsion-vibration damping system (7) to a hub (6) associatable to the vehicle transmission. The second torsion-vibration damping system (7) comprises at least one self-centering hub element (8) cooperating with the torsion disc (2), producing a friction torque between both of them and self-centering when the system (7) effects the damping of vibrations coming from the engine.
